Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has softened his stance on Bitcoin’s much-discussed “supercycle” forecast for 2026. After recent market turbulence, CZ now urges patience over prediction, highlighting the fragility of sentiment even in a bullish macro environment.
Why This Shift Happened
Bitcoin dropped below $75,000, wiping out ~$2.5 billion in leveraged positions.
CZ pointed to FUD on social media, which he believes accelerated panic selling.
Broader macro forces including U.S.–Iran tensions, inflation, and Fed policy uncertainty compounded market stress.
What CZ Originally Predicted
Bitcoin could break the traditional 4-year halving cycle, trending higher for several years.
Thesis was based on:
Crypto-friendly U.S. regulation
Institutional capital inflows
Reduced dependence on supply-driven cycles
The Reality Check
Bitcoin failed to hold key support levels around $82,500 and $75,500.
Price dipped below realized value (~$80,700) — most holders underwater → negative sentiment pressure.
Gold and silver also fell sharply, indicating cross-asset risk-off behavior.
Market & On-Chain Insights
Initial liquidations: ~$850 million → escalated to $2.5 billion over the weekend.
~200,000 trader accounts fully liquidated.
Glassnode data:
Smaller holders: net sellers
Large “mega-whales”: quietly accumulating
Key Takeaways for Traders
Supercycle isn’t dead — timing is just more uncertain.
Macro factors now matter as much as adoption and halvings.
Focus on long-term, buy-and-hold strategy rather than reacting to social media FUD.
Market participants should monitor on-chain metrics and liquidations for real-time risk signals.
Why This Post Matters
CZ’s update is a reminder that even top industry insiders adjust predictions in response to market volatility. Traders and investors should balance optimism with caution, keeping both technical and macro factors in mind.

Quick clarification after the earlier post there was a scaling issue on the monthly chart. This view is based on the correctly inscribed Fibonacci circles on the 3-day timeframe, and the structure here is extremely important.
Price is still hugging the 0.786 fib circle, respecting it with precision, which tells us this level is acting as dynamic geometric support rather than just a static price zone.
What stands out is the timing. After February 18th, price will have fully crossed this 0.786 circle and enter a zone with no circular support beneath it.
Historically, when Bitcoin exits one of these fib circles, volatility expands and directional intent becomes much clearer, because the market is no longer being “guided” by geometric compression. It either accelerates or resolves sharply.
It’s also worth noting that the previous all-time high topped exactly at the pink fib circle not approximately, but structurally aligned once again.
This reinforces that these circular levels are not arbitrary drawings, but recurring areas where price exhausts or transitions.
The takeaway here isn’t to predict an exact outcome, but to recognize where we are in the structure.
Bitcoin is approaching a zone where support shifts from geometric to purely market-driven.
That transition phase is often uncomfortable, noisy, and emotionally charged but it’s also where larger moves are born.
As we move past mid-February, the question becomes simple: does price re-accelerate with strength, or does the absence of circular support expose weakness?
Either way, this is a level traders and investors should not be ignoring.
How are you positioning as $BTC approaches this geometric reset point?

Some folks think BTC could slowly slide to $56k — doesn’t have to be panic, just context. Sounds scary at first, but let’s zoom out.
$56k isn’t just a random number — it’s the realized price, basically the average cost of all Bitcoin in circulation. Historically, that’s been a cycle low, not the end of the world. It’s more like a foundation than a floor.
In past cycles, Bitcoin has dipped to this area, shook out weak hands, then quietly rebuilt. The big moves usually come later.
Right now, long-term holders aren’t selling much — which usually happens near bottoms, not tops. Bitcoin is also near its 200-week moving average, a level every major cycle has respected as a place to buy, not panic.
The market feels quiet. Nothing exciting is happening. That’s exactly how opportunity looks before it becomes obvious. Bitcoin doesn’t bottom when everyone’s hyped — it bottoms when it feels uncomfortable.
⚠️ Just remember: the market has been messy. There’s been manipulation, and gold even lost trillions recently. No matter what charts say, stay safe and protect your positions.

When price approaches any support/resistance level you have 3 types of decisions:
1️⃣→ Bet on a breakout (Momentum).
2️⃣→ Bet on a bounce (Mean reversion).
3️⃣→ Take no trade.

As a Trader you have to get used to picking Option 3... a lot.
Before jumping into a trade it can be quite helpful to have a little bit of context.
Looking at the current Market Structure is a good place to start.
🐂Bullish Market Structure: higher highs and higher lows.🐻Bearish Market Structure: lower lows and lower highs.
Break in Market Structure
Just because price currently has Bullish Structure doesn't mean that it will just go up forever.
There are going to be times where the structure "breaks" and price can potentially turn around and start moving in another direction.

Just because a Lower High comes in does NOT mean the structure has broken yetThe structure is only broken when the Lower Low comes in.A Lower Low = the break of the most recent swing low that was formed.Just because a Higher Low comes in does NOT mean the structure has broken yet.The structure is only broken when the Higher High comes in.A Higher High = the breach of the most recent swing high that was formed.
Mean-Reverting Markets (ranging)
When the direction of price isn't clear because it just keeps reversing from the same highs/lows over and over again, this is a Mean Reverting Environment.
This type of environment is:
✅the BEST for trading reversals❌the WORST for trading breakouts
Momentum Markets (trending)
When the Market Structure of a move appears to be Bullish or Bearish for a consistently long duration, then you're looking at Trending Price Action.
Common characteristic of strong Trending Price Action:
Price hits a resistance and then effortlessly breaks through it, drifting to the next resistance.Then when it reaches the next level, it breaks through that again and the cycle continues.
This type of environment is:
✅the BEST for trading breakouts❌the WORST for trading reversals
📝Summary Lesson :
Every trade fits one of three decisions:
1️⃣→ Bet on a breakout (momentum).
2️⃣→ Bet on a bounce (mean reversion).
3️⃣→ Take no trade.
Your job as a Trader: identify the environment and choose the option
1. Market Structure
Bullish: higher highs + higher lowsBearish: lower lows + lower highsBreak of structure: confirmed only when price breaches the most recent swing high/low.
2. Market Environments
A. Momentum (Trending)
Price consistently breaks through levels and continues in one direction.✅ Best for breakouts❌ Worst for reversals
B. Mean-Reverting (Ranging)
Price repeatedly bounces between similar highs/lows.✅ Best for reversals
❌ Worst for breakouts#btc #bitcoin

It’s been a brutal 24 hours. If you’re looking at your portfolio and seeing red, you’re not alone. Bitcoin recently dipped as low as $72,877—erasing nearly all gains since the November 2024 election and sitting 39% below its October peak of $126k.
But before you join the panic-selling, here is the real news behind the dump and why the "Smart Money" is watching closely.
1. What Actually Caused the Dump? 🌪️
The crash wasn't caused by one single thing, but a "perfect storm" of macro events:
The Iran Drone Scare: Markets jolted after reports of the US shooting down an Iranian drone. This reawakened geopolitical nerves, causing traders to dump "risky" assets like BTC in favor of traditional safe havens like Silver (which jumped 9%).
The "Microsoft Effect": Poor earnings from tech giants like Microsoft triggered a massive sell-off in US equities, which dragged Bitcoin down due to its high correlation with the Nasdaq.
Liquidation Cascade: Over $2 Billion in positions were wiped out since last Thursday. When traders use leverage (borrowed money) to "buy the dip," and the price keeps falling, their positions are force-sold, creating a "downward spiral".
2. Fear is at "Rock Bottom" 😨
Sentiment has officially hit "Extreme Fear". Analysts are noting that "crypto sentiment is hitting rock bottom," with traders scrambling for protection rather than profits.
The Contrarian View: History shows that when retail traders are this scared and funding rates go negative, the market is often primed for a V-shaped recovery once the sellers run out of ammo.
3. The Institutional "Stealth" Buy 🏦
While small traders are panicking, large players are repositioning. Despite the price drop, major firms like Galaxy Digital and Bitwise are signaling that we are likely "nearer the end of the downturn than the start". They are looking at the passage of the CLARITY Act and clearer US regulations as the long-term floor for the market.
4. The Technical "Gap" at $81k 📊
Bitcoin has left behind "price gaps" in its wake. In technical analysis, these gaps act like magnets. Many analysts expect a bounce toward the $81k–$83k area to fill these levels once the geopolitical "panic flush" settles.
The Bottom Line
We are seeing a massive transfer of wealth from "Weak Hands" (leveraged retail) to "Strong Hands" (institutions and long-term holders). The news is scary, but the selling pressure is finally starting to exhaust itself.

THE $78K BOUNCE: Relief Rally or the Ultimate Trap? 📉📈
Let’s be real—the last 48 hours have been a bloodbath. With over $2.5 Billion in liquidations, the "Extreme Fear" is officially back as we fell to $74,500. 😱
But while retail was panic-selling, look at what the smart money is doing:
✅ Whale Wallets (1k-10k BTC): Holdings actually increased during the dip to 1,961 wallets—the highest since last November.
✅ Massive CME Gap: We just created a huge gap at $84,400. Historically, these gaps act like magnets.
✅ Institutional Floors: Spot ETF inflows are stabilizing the $78k zone despite the macro "risk-off" mood.
The Reality Check: We just tested the "Liberation Day" support. If we hold $78,500, the path to the $84k gap is wide open. If we fail? $68,000 is the next stop. 🛑
I’m not chasing the green candles; I’m watching the $80k resistance flip. 💎
Are you:
1️⃣ Buying the Dip (Bullish) 🚀
2️⃣ Waiting for $70k (Patient) 🧘‍♂️
3️⃣ Staying in USDT (Scared) 💵
